This has been my handle for so long I honestly don't think I'm creative enough to make another one.

I used my move to Lemmy to switch to a different one after having the same cross-platform alias for something like 20 years. It was time for a bit more anonymity. Winamp kids might suspect it's related to the music player and they wouldn't be wrong.
I do somewhat regret not ending it with AMA, but such is life.
Yes
I only use this name for specific accounts usually for the purposes of social media. I have a different user name and account/email etc for everything else. But this nickname was given to me by a friend so yes. I'm happy with it.
Quite happy.
I have a mile long document of yet to be used ideas for song titles, synth patch names, lyric ideas, what have you...
I just harvested from that. It works.
Oo what synths？
One is never satisfied, as I'm assuming you know. I have plans to swap some out, but my current lineup includes:
Novation Peak Casio CZ-1 Novation Ultranova Radikal Technologies Delta Cep-A Dreadbox Abyss Polyend Tracker and a couple other supplemental pieces
If you're a gearhound yourself I wouldn't mind a look into your setup if you care to oblige.
I created one that stuck in 2009 or so. Used it up until last year, when I realized the old one was stale / I grew out of it.
So I'm Oka now, where available, and allow 3 character names.
Yes of course, but also like many others I always pick a different name for each platform.
I dunno, but it sounds nice.
yes, it was my "gamer" name a long time ago, and due to small(ish) size of fediverse, i get it easily, it is either sga, or some combination of sga and 13
Fun fact: user names are instance specific, so someone could grab any of our user names on a different instance. Think of it as having [email protected] and someone grabs [email protected].
/random tidbit
And even if it was gone, display name can be different than username. Making it both more and less anonymous and more and less secure.
I would have preferred "ScreamingGrasshopperMouse", but it was too many characters long, so what I have now will have to do.
It is good enough.
It’s been with me for decades now. I couldn’t think of a different one to save my life.
I wish it could be a full rainbow and now just blue.
I used to try taking Basculin as much as I could as jt was my first shiny pokemon, but on a lot of occasions the name got slipped from me by Pokemon fans. So I took CaptainBasculin. No complaints so far.
I think it embodies my interest.
Not the username I normally use, but I like it
It's free, everwhere. Except where my 11 year old self, creating a Minecraft account for the first time and inventing the name, already registered and forgot the PW.
yes
I love mine. I once said "that's my name" before I even knew the concept of aliases and here I am
Yeah.
I like mine
I say it sounds pretty good. It wouldn't even be this way if I didn't sign up to this website.
Gives off Flemish vibes, I love it.
I like mine (duh) but also switch it up on different platforms. I'm much more averse to being recognized on the internet now.
